Syracuse men’s cross country won the 8000-meter team competition at Florida State University’s Winter Cross Country Last Chance Invitational — the final regular season meet of the season for SU before NCAA Championship selections. Joe Dragon led for the Orange and took second place in the individual 8000-meter race.

Five Orange runners finished in the top-10 in the 8000-meter race. Dragon led the pack by finishing at 23:46.6, while JP Trojan (23:52.7), Silas Derfel (23:56.3), Alex Comerford (24:01.0) and Matthew Scrape (24:01.9) rounded out the top-10 for Syracuse.

Unranked Syracuse upset No. 17 Michigan, increasing its chances for NCAA Championship selection.

The NCAA Championships were postponed from the fall and rescheduled for March 15. The NCAA will announce the field for the championships on Sunday in a selection show setting. The selection committee considers every team result but puts the most weight on conference championship performance — where SU finished in sixth at the Atlantic Coast Conference Championships in October.
